Coxswain

Hey, everyone. I picked up this bike for free on Craigslist in the hopes of changing it into a bike that I can use to zip around town, since at times I'd like to go faster than I can on my hybrid, and it'd totally suck if my roadie got stolen. Might look into a singlespeed/fixed gear, since that might simplify and cheapen things.

It looks in pretty bad shape, and I can't believe the person I got it from was still riding it to work. He only stopped after the front tube totally burst, but there's plenty of other problems from brakes and cables (Among other things) being all rusted to spokes in the wheels being detached and flailing all over the place.







Those are the main patches of rust on the frame, so I'm hoping it's nothing significant. It's one of the Made in Canada models, and it's got the rhinestone badge on the head tube, so I'm guessing it's one of the lower end models. Serial number is A11 5615.
